I just got done reading about how Nanostring Technologies has finally brought a product to market and gotten their first sale. Companies like this that continue to innovate and create new products are part of what keeps our region strong when others are faltering.

Fell is starting to think about raising a third round of venture funding, of about $15 million to $20 million, which he says will be the last time he seeks capital before the company turns profitable. The cash will be used to build up manufacturing, sales and marketing, and development, he says.

The great part is that having a product go into production means more cash flow into the area and more jobs for the people who live here.

So congratulations to everyone down at Nanostring Technologies!
